I am just going to tell you guys a story of my linux journey, if you are interested, you can read.

So i have a laptop, which have intel i3 7020U, 4gb RAM and a 256gb of storage. Windows 10 lagged a lot on my laptop and windows 11 was even not available for it. So i switched to the iot ltsc version, still no difference. Then i switched to ubuntu my first ever linux experience. It was very fast, snappy, i started to love it but i leaved it, because my touchpad was not working very well on it (yeah i just leaved it for some touchpad issue) then i tried linux mint, zorin and fedora, the touchpad had the same issue. Unless i switched to opensuse, my touchpad worked great on it. After some days i just got bored and i wanted to distro hope again and i found out fedora just got a new update and the touchpad was working great! I remained there for 2-3 days but i hated gnome experience Even on a laptop. So i switched to mint and then zorin and then i thought to try something new. I tried Arch. I used kde with it, and i just loved it the most. First two install of arch was manual and then after that all the installations was using archinstall. I have reinstalled arch 100+ times i don’t know i just like to do that. I tried xfce, i stayed on hyprland for so much time, i tried lxqt, and so much, Then shifted to kde again. And one day on fmhy i find a index of linux distros in which cachyos was ranking out of every distro. I just tried it and what the hell it was sooo fast, I just don’t know what to say but i am still on it (i have reinstalled it like 20 times) but I love cachyos from my heart. On my laptop with that specs i hit 200+ fps on minecraft in max settings and max chunks which is great.

I even recommended linux to my friend, now my one friend use Arch and he doesn’t want to switch to cachy because he didn’t like the name :). And on my friend laptop i installed cachyos and he is loving it so far he said this laptop was unusable and now works super fast

    The stutters are caused by an issue that can be resolved and depend on hardware, not actual performance issues

    These can happen on windows too

      I don’t know what you’re getting at. I have no issues on Cachy and it’s significantly faster than other distros. Are you trying to say that I’m lying? You do realize that Cachy literally is designed to use every trick in the book to make itself as fast as possible? Other distros don’t do that, except specialized ones like Garuda.

        When i used chachyos, i had stuttering issues with some games that were not present on other distros

        I was trying to say that linux is already faster than windows, you dont need a distro that advertises itself as fast to achieve that, and that stuttering issues that are hardware specific should not be included when considering performance
